Nervijen-NP Tablet 10's
About Nervijen-NP Tablet 10's
Nervijen-NP Tablet 10's is a combination medicine indicated to manage neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, and evoked pain (pain caused by events usually not painful).
Nervijen-NP Tablet 10's is a combination of three drugs: Methylcobalamin (vitamin), Nortriptyline (antidepressant), and Pregabalin (anti-convulsant). Methylcobalamin is a vitamin that aids in producing myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibres and regenerates damaged nerve cells. Nortriptyline works by increasing nerve transmitters (serotonin and noradrenaline) in the brain, thereby reducing the pain messages arriving in the brain. Pregabalin reduces pain by interfering with pain messages travelling through the brain and down the spine. Together, Nervijen-NP Tablet 10's helps to treat neuropathic pain.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused due to damaged sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as prickling, stabbing, tingling or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also familiar with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury. The body unpromptedly sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping and evoked pain (pain caused by events usually not painful).
